Shameless Advertising-redux

To me, it's an amazing feeling to know that one (like myself) can easily switch from being a student of Wing Chun to a teacher of the art! Of course, I have found that it is not so easy, but what makes it easier is that I know quite a bit about the art, having taken private lessons in New Iberia for over 10 years. I also have studied other Sifu's and how they teach it and have learned a great deal from that. Reading does not hurt either. I alwasys tell my students though, that you can't learn Wing Chun from a book, but you can learn ABOUT Wing Chun from books. And there is nothing wrong with that. You just have to be careful though, because some of the stuff you find in books and dvd's is just plain wrong.
Well, here goes with the shameless advertising. Of course I have a google add but am poor, so it is very skimpy. I teach mostly private lessons Sunday mornings in my garage. I call it Garage Kung Fu and this is nothing unusual. Many (I would say most) WC teachers got started and some stayed this way, i.e. teaching in the garage or back yard. It is almost a tradition. Anyway, I can be reached via email: vanceap3@sudddenlink.net, OR my cell at: 318-446-1236. Leave a message and I promise to call you back. I am fairly old, but remember that Yip Man started teaching Wing Chun when he was 56 and taught until the year of his death when he was 79!
